Opening Snide Remarks: Oh no not... T*HQ... the makers of such ugly games as
Home Alone... but hey, the SNES game was cool. Let's give it a try.

****************************************************************************
Gameplay Descripion: A game based on the movie. The SNES game used 3d
graphics, had a 3d Doom-ish alien level, and a nice challenge as it's plus
side. The game actually reminded me in some ways of the SNES game Donkey Kong
Country, and it was fun. This is a scale down of the SNES game, which does
pretty well, but plays really SS-LL-OO-WWW.

You play as Woody, the jealous toy cowboy who wants all the attention from the
other toys and his owner. Your weapon is the pull-chain on his back. Jumping
is one of the things that moves particularly slow. Overall, this game puts up
a good challenge factor. Some of the goals of the stages are unclear, though.
Platforms are ignorantly laid out. Some stages feel overly linear.

Liked: Not as fun as the SNES game, but fun enough.

Hated: Slow. 

****************************************************************************
Graphics Description: This game looks great. An inspired SGB frame and sharp
3d graphics strike in full force. Looking at the stages will remind you a lot
of the movie. But, one side of this is a slow framerate at times. DKL has
done better in terms of looks.

Liked: Looks awesome!

Hated: Framerate.

****************************************************************************
Sound/Music Description: Hmm. The songs, most of them, are pretty dull.The
sound FX are average fare.

Liked: Some songs shine from the others.

Hated: Lackluster Sound FX. Most songs are pretty lame.

****************************************************************************
Play Control/Game Design: Control of jumping just SUCKS. It's really tough. 

Liked: OK speed when just running, OK control of the whip.

Hated: Yuck.

****************************************************************************
Improve: Work more on the speed of play, and framerate. Then you'd have a
hit.

RIYL: Disney, DKL series.

****************************************************************************
Final Words: Hmm... well, if you liked the movie, it's an OK game I guess.
The frame rate and control really mess it up though.
